California Officer Shoots, Paralyzes Suspect; No Charges

(AP) - Newly released audio recordings show that police in Northern California initially dismissed a man's claim he had been shot by an officer.

The Chico Enterprise-Record reported Wednesday that Paradise Police Officer Patrick Feaster didn't tell his commander for 11 minutes that he had fired his gun. The shooting happened at the crash of a suspected drunken driver Nov. 25.

In the recording, Feaster tells his commander that his gun went off, but he didn't think he shot 26-year-old Andrew Thomas.

Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey has released audio from body cameras of two officers and video from Feaster's dashboard camera.
